Kung Fu Panda Train Novels & Stories

Tristan and his maid brought over dishes filled with meats fruits and eggs, setting them on the table. “We eat, then we leave. We have a train to catch.” I looked at Hunji, eyes wide and mouth slack. “Hurry up, we don’t have all day. The train leaves in 2 hours.” Hunji’s less-than-cheerful mood rolled off me. I was too excited about going on a train. I had always dreamt of going across the country by train. Or a boat, or even a car!

J screamed from behind me, his voice choked with tears and grief. Just as X was about to jump down from the passenger platform down onto the tracks, he doubled over and screamed. The vetala reasserted itself. X’s body turned around to face J and me. The red eyes were back stronger than ever, pulsing, glowing. A train arrived on the adjacent track like the punchline to a bad joke. It’s brakes screeching, doors hissing open. X, the vetala in control, leapt aboard the train. The doors shut. The train began to move.

Nothing to notice. He handed me a plain black backpack from the trunk, zipper sealed with tape. Inside: a cheap flip phone (no GPS, three numbers ready), $3,000 in twenties held by rubber bands, a fake New York license (“Maya Elena Torres”—my face from the pool camera, made to look like a DMV photo, good for two years), and a one-way train ticket to Portland, Maine—coach seat, leaving 04:17 a.m. from Penn Station. “Train is safer than planes,” R said, closing the trunk. “No face scans to board. Pay cash for food. Eat, sleep, blend in.” His scar caught the dim light, white against his skin.

Mr. Han began to help David in his training. The first day could be described as the most treacherous experience of David's life. Mr. Han said the training regime he had to follow was personally devised by his father to train prospective recruits for the academy. The training regime started with fortification training. Unlike its name, the process was incredibly bloody. Mr. Han simply brought a specifically designed stick. "This is something created by the combined efforts of your father and me. We created it with a special element found within the gates. This is called Tedenite."
